Serbian Renewal Movement

The Serbian Renewal Movement (SPO) is a national liberal and monarchist political party in Serbia that was founded in 1990 by Vuk Draskovic and Vojislav Seselj. In 1991, the far-right Seselj left the party to found the Serbian Radical Party, and the party's views moderate to more center-right views. In 1999, the SPO joined Slobodan Milosevic's government, but it withdrew after demanding that Milosevic surrender to NATO during the Kosovo War. In 2000, the SPO overestimated its own strength and ran independently, leading to its vote collapsing. In 2003, Draskovic called for the restoration of a parliamentary monarchy in Serbia.
